From Patna to Delhi, BJPs new president keeps low profile, delivers smartly
PATNA: Fifth-term BJP MLA and minister Nitin Nabin was a surprise pick as the partys national working president. Considered the youngest to be elevated to the BJPs key post, the 45-year-old Bihar road construction and urban housing development department minister dedicated his appointment to party workers, as celebrations broke out in the party office in Patna and congratulatory messages poured in. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the central leadership, Prime Minister, Home Minister, Defence Minister and everyone in the central leadership for giving me this opportunity. I have the Prime Ministers blessings, and I will further advance the guidance and leadership he has provided, he said. We will work to strengthen the BJP as per the directions of our senior leadership with the approach of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. I also thank all party workers. It all happened because of the hard work of the party workers, added Nabin who has worked in coordination with the SS. Born on May 23, 1980 in Patna, Nabin began his political career with the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM). As the national general secretary and Bihar state president of BJYM, he worked to connect young people with the organisation. He entered electoral politics after his father Navin Kishore Prasad Sinhas death in 2006 following a cardiac arrest. Sinha, a veteran BJP leader and MLA from Patna West, had earlier served as a cabinet minister in the NDA-I government led by CM Nitish Kumar in 2005. The BJP fielded Nabin in a by-election and he emerged victorious. After delimitation, Patna West was named as Bankipur assembly constituency. Nabin has won elections in 2010, 2015 and 2020 from this seat. In 2025 election, he defeated RJDs Rekha Kumari by over 51,000 votes. He was made a minister in the NDA government for the first time on February 9, 2021 and was allocated road construction department. As a minister, he got appreciation from Nitish. Nabin is one of the youngest leaders of the state BJP, who has served as minister of road construction and urban development department twice. He belongs to Kayastha community, which constitutes nearly 0.60% of the states population. As BJPs in-charge of Chhattisgarh, he had focused on booth-level management, organisational expansion, and electoral coordination, leading to the partys decisive victory in the state. As a leader, he has shown his organisational skill not only in Bihar but also in other states. Although he has proven his organisational capabilities in the past, his appointment to the partys key post assumes special significance, showing how partys top leadership is ready to take bold steps and poses faith in the young leaders. Congratulating the 45-year-old leader, JD(U) president Nitish said, Nabin is a dedicated and disciplined politician, who will lend strength to the BJP with the new responsibility. Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said, This is a moment of pride for the BJP. As an ordinary worker from Bihar, Nabin has worked in the organisation with dedication.
Insider track: PMs engagement style
PMs engagement style Prime Minister Narendra Modis recent dinner for NDA MPs at his former official residence offered a few telling moments about his approach to engagement. One scene that set tongues wagging featured the Prime Minister walking alongside a Cabinet minister, his hand briefly resting on the ministers shoulder. Such gestures from Modi are rare, which is why they rarely go unnoticed. A cautious NDA MP said it hinted at a level of comfort or trust, adding that the ministers visible role in the recent Bihar Assembly elections may have registered. Throughout the evening, Modi worked the room, greeting MPs, asking after families, and exchanging pleasantries. Veterans recalled a similar shoulder-touch moment with Yogi Adityanath during an earlier campaign. With the BJP set to pick a new national president after finalising its Uttar Pradesh state chief, party insiders say the Prime Minister is quietly assessing leadership strengths through understated, personal methods. Rahuls cake walk wins smiles Amid the grind of the ongoing Parliament session, Rahul Gandhi added a warm, personal touch during the birthday celebration of his mother and CPP leader Sonia Gandhi. Rushing to his office in the Old Parliament House for the cake-cutting, Gandhi suddenly made a U-turn and headed towards Makar Dwar instead. Much to the surprise of those watching, he walked straight up to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, took him by the hand, and escorted him along with Dimple Yadav and other SP MPs to the celebration. Asked later about the cake, Akhilesh smiled and said it was tasty. Moments later, Gandhi was seen taking DMK MP Kanimozhi along for a slice. The gesture did not go unnoticed. Quiet pitch for Chinese tech hands Big players in the solar energy sector are knocking on the governments doors, seeking visa clearances for Chinese technical experts. With approvals moving at a crawl, executives say project timelines are beginning to fray. Industry insiders point out that many specialised engineering skills needed for large-scale solar installations remain concentrated among Chinese professionals, leaving firms with few short-term alternatives. As delays start to translate into higher costs, companies have stepped up their engagement, though carefully and out of the public eye. Sources say representations are being made through established channels, with a sense of urgency but little noise. For now, the file remains open, and the industry is watching closely to see which way the Centre leans. Bengal needs a different playbook Another round of digital brainstorming for West Bengal recently brought BJP IT Cell members to Bengaluru. Though the meeting stayed off the radar, it drew social media managers from across the country. The consensus was clear: what worked in Bihar may not work in Bengal. While issues like Vande Mataram are being pushed politically to counter Mamata Banerjee and the Congress, the social media team is searching for something extra. A Bengal-based manager admitted that the Special Intensive Revision has failed to gain traction. With presentations due before the Prime Minister and Amit Shah by the month-end, pressure is mounting. A strategist close to the PMO quipped that Bengalis, who eat a lot of fish, have sharper minds and are not easily persuaded, while language barriers pose a challenge for BJP leaders from the Hindi-speaking belt. Fever or not, Shah takes the floor A bout of fever failed to keep Amit Shah away from the thick of parliamentary battle during the Lok Sabha discussion on electoral reforms. Despite being unwell, the senior BJP leader chose to take on the Opposition head-on, delivering a forceful response on the SIR issue. NDA MPs later remarked, half-jokingly, that his intervention shifted the mood of the House and preceded the Opposition walkout. Point by point, Shah countered allegations of vote manipulation. Sources said he had been advised to rest but remained determined to speak, with his temperature reportedly rising to 102 degrees. MIB overdrive on govt outreach The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting appears to be firmly in overdrive when it comes to the governments publicity and outreach efforts. Officials say communication plans and event schedules circulated by the MIB are sometimes acted upon even before other ministries are fully looped in. Officers from the ministry are said to be seeking quick inputs and clearances from communication wings elsewhere, often within timelines of 24 hours or less. One information officer summed it up with a wry smile, invoking the phrase Muddai sust, gawaah chust. The suggestion: while principal departments may move at a measured pace, the publicity machinery is already several steps ahead.

Will Win Even In Bengal: BJP's New Working President To NDTV
Bihar minister Nitin Nabin, who was elevated to the position of the BJP's Working President, told NDTV today that his priority would be to strengthen the party organisation.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday challenged the BJP to prove its strength by winning a fair election conducted through ballot papers, alleging that the poll process has been deliberately made suspicious to undermine peoples voting rights. Addressing the Congresss Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, she claimed the BJP could not win elections without the backing of the Election Commission (EC), accusing the ruling party of benefiting from alleged vote theft. Priyanka Gandhi said the country would not forget the names of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, asserting that they would one day have to answer how they conspired to take away citizens right to vote, regardless of any attempts to shield them. I challenge -- the BJP should contest a fair election on the ballot paper once. They will never be able to win and the BJP also knows this fact, Priyanka Gandhi said. She alleged that the chief election commissioner and the two election commissioners are attacking India's democracy. For the first time in history, the entire opposition is stating that they don't trust the EC and the polls are not being conducted properly. From announcement of polls, voters list, model code of conduct, campaign, polling, counting, EVMs and results, every step has been made suspicious by them (election commissioners), Priyanka Gandhi. She alleged that all constitutional institutions had been forced to bend before the government. Referring to Rahul Gandhis yatra in Bihar, Priyanka Gandhi said it was undertaken to protest alleged attempts by the BJP to cut voters names from electoral rolls to influence the outcome. She claimed a similar exercise was now underway in Uttar Pradesh, alleging that nearly three crore names had been removed. Questioning the role of the Election Commission, she asked how useful it had become for the BJP. Urging supporters not to be disheartened over the partys loss in Bihar, she alleged that the country was increasingly witnessing elections being won by the BJP through chori (theft). Rahul Gandhi showed in press conferences evidence (of vote chori) from Haryana, Maharashtra and Karnataka. In Bihar, 65 lakh votes were cut, and even if you set aside this evidence, during the model code of conduct in Bihar, they sent Rs 10,000 in people's bank accounts with the EC looking the other way. If this is not vote theft, then what is? she said. The BJP has no answer to these questions and is aware that the people are angry with them, Priyanka Gandhi said. Look at them (the BJP), they look rattled. I look at them in Parliament, their self-confidence is down, they are unable to look us in the eye because people have lost faith in their government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, she said. This government has failed on every front and the Rupee is now 90 against the US dollar, she said. When the rupee used to be 60 against the dollar, then who was crying on the streets? Narendra Modi ji was making comments regularly; what happened now? Exports are going down and imports are getting expensive. Their foreign policy has failed, he (Modi) walks holding hands with US President Donald Trump and presidents of other countries but when the time comes, none stand with our country, she said. Priyanka Gandhi alleged that the policy of the government is to hand over the country's resources o Adani and Ambani. The youth of the country is grappling with price rise, unemployment, paper leaks, and there is no one to help them, she said. Whatever was constructed in 75 years, they are attempting to destroy it, she alleged. Priyanka Gandhi urged the people to focus on protecting their right to vote, claiming that it is being taken away. It is our duty to protect the Constitution and your voting rights.... we will keep fighting and never bow down, she said. Priyanka Gandhi also said that Indians must rise when the country's institutions are being rampled upon. She said it is important to understand the value of the vote. When the freedom struggle was on, the slogan used to be 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. Jawaharlal Nehru ji told the people to tell him 'what is Bharat Mata' and then explained that it is its natural resources, mountains, rivers, farms, but it is also the 'Bharat ki janta' who are all part of Bharat Mata, the Congress leader said. This spirit made the Constitution and gave people the right to vote to elect a government. This thinking and spirit made institutions to strengthen democracy -- the judiciary, media, Parliament, political parties, opposition parties, ruling party members, EC, were all made to protect people's interests, she said. When we see these institutions trampled upon, all Indians should rise. They should realise that the attack on these institutions is an attack on them. Today, the judiciary is under pressure, the media is owned by Adani or Ambani. In the previous elections, chief ministers were put in jail, our bank accounts were shut, and baseless allegations were made. Those who could not bear it, joined them, and their washing machines washed away the charges against them, she said. Referring to the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, Priyanka Gandhi said when Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of 'vote chori' and SIR, the ruling side got rattled and then sought a debate on Vande Mataram. We kept debating as to 'the national song belongs to whom' and how it came about; and the big issues of unemployment, price rise, paper leak, they could not muster the courage to debate them, she said.

3rd T20I: No Need For Gill To Play Big Shots, Should Stick To Proper Strokes, Says Bangar
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has advised Shubman Gill to rely on orthodox strokes to make runs in the third T20I against South Africa, rather than forcing big hits in the match to be played at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday evening. Gill, already Indias captain in ODIs and Tests, is the vice-captain in T20Is, where Suryakumar Yadav leads the team. But Gills returns since coming back into the T20I team from the Asia Cup have raised questions. In 14 T20I innings this year, Gill has scored just 263 runs, while averaging 23.9 and the strike rate standing at 142.93, without a single fifty to show so far. With the five-game T20I series between India and South Africa currently standing at 1-1, the focus shifts to Gills form ahead of the game in Dharamsala. Id clarify his role: no need for big shotsstick to proper cricketing strokes with so many quick scorers behind you. Lay the platform, especially in crunch situations or low-scoring games. India need a batter who can tackle tough overs, handle the new ball and survive early breakthroughs like Shubmans dismissal on the first ball, said Bangar on JioStar. With the five-game T20I series between India and South Africa currently standing at 1-1, the focus shifts to Gills form ahead of the game in Dharamsala.

BJP gets new national president: Meet Nitin Nabin, the Bihar minister who replaced JP Nadda
The Bharatiya Janata Party has appointed Bihar minister Nitin Nabin as its national working president, a significant organizational shift. Nabin, a four-time MLA from Patna's Bankipur constituency, brings extensive grassroots experience and a strong organizational background to the party's national leadership.
NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the Election Commission on vote theft claims with trembling hands while speaking in Parliament. Referring to a recent altercation between the two during a Lok Sabha debate on electoral reforms, the Congress MP said Shah appeared nervous while responding to the allegations. Addressing the party's 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally at the Ramlila Maidan, Rahul Gandhi further claimed that the BJP shows courage only when it is in power, suggesting that the Home Ministers demeanour reflected that reality. Amit Shah clarified for them (EC) with trembling hands in Parliament. I challenged him to debate at my press conference. Let us show the country who is speaking the truth. Did you see his trembling hands? Should I tell you why he was trembling? Because they are only courageous when they have the power, Rahul Gandhi said at the 'Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod' rally at Ramleela Maidan in New Delhi. The Rae Bareilly MP had challenged Amit Shah in Lok Sabha to have a debate on his three press conferences on vote theft, which focused on alleged systematic voter deletion and duplicate entries in Karnataka, Haryana and Maharashtra, while the Home Minister was replying to the allegations levelled by Congress on EC and BJP. Responding to the LoP's remarks, Shah said the former would not decide the order of his speech and should remain patient. The Leader of Opposition (LoP) asked for answers to his questions. You can't run the parliament with your obstinacy. I will decide the order of my speech. The parliament won't function like this. He should be patient. I will answer each and every point, he asserted. Additionally, Rahul Gandhi, during his rally, vowed to change the 'CEC and Other Election Commissioners Bill, 2023' and to take action against the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Election Commissioner Sukhbir Sandhu, and Vivek Joshi once the Congress returns to power. Remember these names: Sukhbir Sandhu, Gnyanesh Kumar, Vivek Joshi. Election Commission is working with BJP. Narendra Modi ji has changed the law for them and said that the Election Commissioner can do anything but no action can be taken against them. Don't forget that you are the EC of India, not Modi's EC. We will change this law and take action against you. Because we are fighting for the truth, he said. Gandhi also pointed out differences in the Congress and RSS ideologies by referring to a statement of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat. Listen to RSS Chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat's statement, the world doesn't look at truth, it looks at power. Whoever has power is respected. This is Mohan Bhagwat's thinking. This ideology belongs to the RSS. Our ideology, the ideology of India, the ideology of Hinduism, the ideology of every religion in the world says that truth is the most important thing. Mohan Bhagwat says that truth is meaningless, power is important...I guarantee you from this stage, you will see, by upholding the truth, by standing behind the truth, we will remove Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, the RSS government, from India, he said. Congress's rally comes amid heightened political activity surrounding Congress's campaign against alleged electoral irregularities. Also addressing the rally, Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Mallikarjun Kharge launched sharp attacks on the BJP, alleging vote chori (vote theft) and questioning the integrity of the Election Commission. Priyanka Gandhi claimed that every step of the poll process arouses suspicion and called on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi to answer how they conspired to take away peoples voting rights. She asserted that the BJP will not be able to protect them and that they will eventually be held accountable. I challenge the BJP to contest polls on the ballot paper. They know they will never win, Priyanka Gandhi said, adding that voters should not lose heart over losing Bihar, as the party alleges the BJP wins elections through vote chori. She cited the alleged payment of Rs 10,000 to women in Bihar during the Model Code of Conduct as evidence of electoral malpractice, questioning the fairness of elections and the impartiality of institutions under the Narendra Modi-led Centre. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge echoed the criticism, calling those indulging in vote chori gaddars (traitors) who must be removed from power to protect voting rights and uphold the Constitution. Kharge said it is the duty of all Indians to unite under Congress ideology, which he claimed is the only force capable of saving the country, warning that the RSS ideology would finish the nation. The BJP people are gaddars and dramebaaz (indulge in theatrics). They need to be removed from power, Kharge said. He also highlighted his personal sacrifice, noting that he postponed his sons operation in Bengaluru to attend the rally, emphasising the importance of the cause to save 140 crore people.

BJP calls Congress rally against 'vote theft' an attempt to 'protect infiltrators'
NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Congress party's Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod rally against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) at Ramlila Maidan today, the BJP alleged that the party was holding the event to protect infiltrators from being removed from the electoral rolls. The ruling BJP said that the Congress will not succeed in its design of misleading people as well as insulting and defaming constitutional institutions, because the entire world knows that India's democracy is very robust. The Congress party is set to hold a major rally at Ramlila Maidan in the national capital today, intensifying its campaign over alleged vote chori and the SIR issue, with party leaders describing the event as a crucial step in a decisive political battle against the BJP-led government. The rally will be attended by the party's top leaders, including general secretaries Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, K C Venugopal, Jairam Ramesh, and Sachin Pilot. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chief Rahul Gandhi are expected to address the gathering. Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi is also likely to be present at the event. Ahead of the event, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Congress was holding the rally even as Union Home Minister Amit Shah exposed the opposition through his point-by-point rebuttal to their fabricated allegations during a debate on electoral reforms during the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament. On Wednesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah , while replying to the debate on electoral reforms, slammed Congress and other opposition parties, accusing them of spreading falsehoods about SIR and tarnishing the image of India's democracy. He asserted that the Modi government will not allow infiltrators to get voting rights and addressed issues raised by opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi. Earlier today, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal also dismissed the 'Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod' rally by Congress against the special Intensive Review (SIR) issue, calling it a gathering of failed people doomed to fail. He also rejected allegations of vote theft, backing Union Home Minister Amit Shah's response in Parliament. #WATCH | Delhi: BJP MP Sambit Patra says, Today the Congress party is holding a rally against vote theft at Ramlila Maidan. It is being said that people are also coming from other states ruled by Congress. Surprisingly, even after the discussion in the House, the Congress party pic.twitter.com/QpLW8Eb4o3 ANI (@ANI) December 14, 2025 Vote theft anti-national act, says Rahul This shows that you do not have truth in your hand, yet you are trying to create an atmosphere of confusion. The Congress' rally is an exercise to protect 'ghuspaithiyas (infiltrators)'. This is what the Congress is doing, the BJP MP told reporters here. The Congress party may try all it wants to mislead the people as well as insult and defame our constitutional institutions. But, the entire world knows that India's democracy is very robust and it cannot be shaken, he added. The BJP leader accused the Congress of holding the rally to pursue its appeasement politics and dared Rahul Gandhi to challenge the Bihar assembly polls if he felt that there was any irregularity. Rahul ji, you still have perhaps 10 days left in your hands. You can still file a complaint if you feel that there was any irregularity (in the poll process) in any of the seats in the Bihar assembly polls, Patra said. The rally comes amid heightened political activity surrounding the Congress's campaign against alleged electoral irregularities. Earlier, tensions had flared in Lucknow on November 27 when Youth Congress workers staged a protest as part of the ongoing Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod campaign over the SIR issue. The protest, which began peacefully, escalated after demonstrators attempted to cross police barricades and block key roads in the city centre while marching towards the Vidhan Sabha. Several Youth Congress workers were detained for refusing to disperse, a move criticised by party leaders, who alleged that peaceful democratic protests were met with excessive police action.

Kerala local body poll results: Kanniyamma scripts a rare political comeback in Idukki
IDUKKI: Kanniyamma Alakarswami may have only won the Kanthalloor panchayat election by the narrowest of margins (13 votes), but the victory could not be any more profound. Having secured the peoples mandate here is also indicative of the fact that they have now embraced Kanniyamma, who was expelled years ago from the Muthuvan community for defying tribal customs. Contesting on a Congress ticket, the 60-year-old won 191 votes and pipped BJP candidate Anitha C, who managed only 178 votes. CPIs Meenakshi came a distant third with 90 votes. I am happy that people trusted me again, Kanniyamma told TNIE . This victory shows that work and sincerity matter more than old divisions. Indeed, the victory marked a rare political comeback in the high range, where social customs have a gravity as heavy as the mountains that dot the region. It was the death of her first-born during childbirth and the near loss of another daughter to a snakebite whilst living in Edamalakkudy, a settlement without access to hospitals, that forced Kanniyamma to rethink long-held customs. The ensuing fracturing of the relationship with the community manifested in the physical when she and her family moved to Susannakkudi, a place also within the tribal fold. However, the final rupture came when her elder daughter married a man from Bihar, an act considered a serious breach of Mutuvan traditions. The family was thus forced to move again, and so they did: to Kanthalloor. Here, Kanniyamma remained active in public life, even as she remained socially excluded from her community. Serving as a local body member, she persistently engaged with tribal families. Ahead of the polls, Kanniyamma told TNIE about this heartening change. The community that once ostracised us now cooperates with us. Rigid community systems are changing with time, she said.

Bihar man lynched over religious identity in Nawada; four arrested, police probe underway
PATNA: A 40-year-old man was lynched to death by a mob after ascertaining his religious identity in Bihars Nawada district, raising questions over the law-and-order situation prevailing in the state under the leadership of new Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary. The victim, Mohammad Athar Hussain, died on Friday night while undergoing treatment for injuries sustained during the mob attack on December 5 under Roh police station limits in Nawada district. He was a native of Gagan Dih village under Laheri police station limits in Nalanda district. Before his death, Hussain alleged that he was targeted because of his religious identity. He was admitted to Biharsharif Sadar Hospital after the incident and succumbed to his injuries late Friday night. His relatives said Hussain used to sell clothes in rural areas of neighbouring Nawada district. Recounting his trauma, Hussain said that a group of four to five men forcibly stopped him, checked his pockets, dragged him into a room and made him reveal his religious identity. They beat me with iron rods, broke my fingers and trampled on my chest, he said. Hussain said that more attackers later joined them. They poured petrol on my body and attempted to set me afire. Before that, the attackers used pliers to crush my feet, fingers and ears, and struck me with bricks. My repeated pleas to spare me fell on deaf ears, he said in a video. Hussain used to sell clothes in Roh and surrounding areas of Nawada to support his family. He was the sole breadwinner of the family. He had been in the business for the last 20 years, but he never faced any trouble. What went wrong and why he was targeted is to be probed by police, his wife Shabnam Parveen told the media. Shabnam Parveen lodged a case against 10 named accused and 15 unidentified individuals. Police have so far arrested four suspects Sonu Kumar, Ranjan Kumar, Sachin Kumar and Shri Kumar. Raids are underway to arrest the remaining accused, said Ranjan Kumar, station house officer (SHO) of Roh police station. The SHO confirmed that the FIR was filed immediately after the attack and that an investigation is underway. We have taken serious note of the incident, and the accused will not be spared. They will be dealt with sternly, he assured the deceaseds family. The postmortem was conducted under the supervision of a magistrate. A forensic team also visited the spot and collected evidence. The incident is part of a disconcerting pattern in Nawada, which has witnessed multiple mob-lynching cases in 2025 alone, including the fatal beating of two youths in February and an attack on an elderly couple in August over witchcraft allegations.

MoS Pankaj Chaudhary likely to be new UP BJP chief; CM, nine other leaders propose his name
LUCKNOW: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to get its party chief for the Uttar Pradesh unit on Sunday. The nomination process for the election of the new state chief took place at the BJP headquarters in the state capital here on Saturday afternoon, with Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary leading the race. Chaudhary filed his papers, and his name was proposed by 10 senior BJP leaders, including UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. According to sources, Chaudhary is almost certain to get elected unopposed, as no other leader has filed nomination papers. However, a day ahead of the nomination process, BJP national general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh arrived in Lucknow and met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. An organisational meeting was also held at CMs residence on Friday night. Amid intense political activity, Union Minister Piyush Goel, appointed as the election officer by the party, arrived in Lucknow on Saturday along with central election observer Vinod Tawde, and Pankaj Chaudhary who is believed to be a close aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. While Pankaj Chaudhary was being considered as the front-runner for the post of UP BJP chief, the arrival of former Union Minister Sadhvi Nirajan Jyoti at the party office on Saturday morning added to the buzz of voting, as she is also being considered as a candidate. Moreover, the name of Union Minister BL Verma had also been doing the rounds for the post. The party chief was supposed to be elected in January 2025, but was delayed due to assembly elections in Maharashtra and Bihar. According to party leaders, Piyush Goyal will complete the election process on Sunday. BJP sources said that the party had zeroed in on an OBC face in Pankaj Chaudhary to lead the state. Chaudhary, a seven-time BJP MP from the Maharajganj Lok Sabha constituency of eastern Uttar Pradesh, is regarded as one of the party's cadre. He started his political career in Gorakhpur Municipal Corporation. In 2024, he defeated Congress candidate Virendra Chaudhary by a margin of over 35,000 votes to enter the Union Cabinet. A prominent OBC Kurmi leader, Chaudhury filed his nomination on Saturday in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, along with several senior party leaders and central representatives. Hailing from Gorakhpur, Chaudhary is being seen as a choice by the party to counter the oppositions PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) narrative, while also consolidating OBC support ahead of the panchayat elections next year and the 2027 Assembly polls. Chaudhury has been a member of the Union Cabinet since 2021. If elected as the Uttar Pradesh BJP president, he would become the fourth Kurmi leader to head the party in the state, following Swatantra Dev Singh, Vinay Katiyar, and Om Prakash Singh. He is set to replace Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, a Jat leader from Moradabad.
